In late September we arrived after midnight during a driving rainstorm and were delighted to find the cottage warm and cozy. It was spotless, had a great bathroom, a well equipped kitchen and a comfortable bed. There were also outdoor chairs as well as useful supplies for day trips in the shed such as a small backpack and a picnic basket. The supply of wood was large and the fireplace was perfect. It also has a great number of books about the area, which were quite helpful. The deck offered a great view and we often went outside at night to see the incredible stars and enjoy the intense quiet.

The property was only a few minutes outside of Portree, where there is a great supermarket and many options to eat and drink. As you drive and hike around Skye you’ll get to the point where you’ll almost stop taking pictures since everything is so beautiful. We stayed mostly in the northern region of Skye during our stay, since there were so many interesting hikes and things to see. Our Favorite hike was Coral Beach, just north of Claigan.

We also found a beautiful drive by chance one day. We were heading south on A863 from Dunvagan and turned left onto B885 just past Bracadale, which leads into Portree. The road was largely single-track the entire way and the area was so beautiful that it stunned your senses.

We had the distinction of being the first couple from the United States that stayed at the Skye Croft during 2012, and it hurts that we may not be back for a while, but we will be back……………………………….

In a word: perfect! We cannot imagine a nicer place to stay on Skye! The Croft has a beautiful lochisde location at the end of a small peninsula, giving that 'away from it all' feel whilst still being handy to see the rest of the island, plenty of great coastal and hillwalking is within easy reach. The interior of the Croft is stunning with lovely decor and had everything we needed for our break. We also found it to be spotlessly clean. Gail was full of helpful information and made us feel incredibly welcome.

We cannot recommend Skye Croft highly enough.

Couldn't have found the more perfect place to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. Gorgeous setting with fantastic views. The cottage is stunning inside and completely set to give a WOW factor the minute you open the door. We must thank Gail, the owner for being so helpful from the minute we enquired right through to our return home. We shall definitely be returning in future

This property could not have suited us better. A perfect size for two with a feeling of being out in the wilds, yet only a short run into Portree for the necessary provisions , hotels, etc. All the mod cons were there although a small deep freeze would have been helpful. A series of wonderful walks awaits those keen to explore the great winged peninsula of Skye or tread the spine of Totternish or explore by car. We had snow on our trip but the house was very warm. The changing light down Loch Snizort as the sun set was mesmerizing. We hope to return without a doubt.
